Minor: Schizophrenia/Psychosis
Regan is possessed (obviously) but there are clear parallels to childhood mental illness and lots of discussions of schizophrenia and psychosis. However, the discussions are very matter-of-fact and surprisingly compassionate. Discussions of "multiple personality disorder" using dated language (it is 1970 after all) but nothing terribly offensive. No instutionalizition. Also brief mention of child deathslooneysoysauce's review against another edition
